Beck, agod eighty-two, and her daughter,
MB. Eliza olinger, widow, aged 6itysix,
lived alone in the upper part OF the

I'm Memphis.

Here is a typical conversation OF the
many which may he heard on the street
since Mr.. Hadden's return, only ii any
thing it is a little more personal aside from
that gentleman than the ordinary. An
APPEAL reporter last night encountered
three most excellent and representative
gentlemen, Capt. Henry Martin, president
OF the Merchants exchange; Col. W. f.
Taylor and Malcolm Scmmes, one OF the
worthy members OF the firm of Is. j.
Semmes 4 Co. They we're talking OF some
OF the recent events in Memphis and the
principal actors in them. Said Col. Tay-
lor: ado you know whom l regard Us the
four greatest men in their respective ca
pacities in the United Statesp"
"No," said Mr.. Martin, ''but / would
like to hear If your big four are the same
as mine"
"well, | don't know how close we will
agree" rejoined the affable colonel, ''but
I'll tell you who mine are; they are Grover

Fire Department Cleary, and Chief Of Po-

THE wArERWAys ooNvENrIoN.

II ApPEAL hopes that the delegates in
uhe waterways convention from the States
OF Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, MS
well as Tennessee, will remember the OBJ
legations that rest upon them TO vote in
the interest of all the States concerned in
the upper Mississippi and its tributaries, ms
well as Of those Of the lower and It's tribu-
taries. The convention, to be strong and
70 accomplish its purpose, must stick
closely TO the text OF the first convention
national aid for the improvement Of the
Mississippi and its tributaries. II Is the
interests OF the whole valley, and not those
oil n State or a single group OF States, that
are involved. II the convention Is dwaried
to n section, division will follow and a
scramble ensuc that may destroy any
chance Of accomplishing anything and
give color Of truth 10 the oft repeated as
sertions OF persons who in the east, from
interested motives, have opposed federal
aid to the Mississippi and It's tributaries,
that II liz a series OF jobs mainly for the
benefit OF land owners along tho banks Of
the several rivers embraced in the scheme.
This we cannot aford. United we stand,
divided we fall. The whole Mississippi
valley must continue 10 stand M a unit for
L.
fair play and justice at the hands Of the
federal government. Part Of the surplus
accommodating 70 fast In the public treasury
can be applicdmost ~pro6tsbly TO This work,
and there shouldn moi, by united action, be
any trouble in sctufing an adequate appro-
priation at the next session of Congress.
A point for the waterways convention
TO consider today is the effect the improve
ment Of the Mississippi and Its tributa-
ries may have in changing the direction OF
commerce. Nsipmlly-th is, following
the drainage Sisbs part Of the continent
II should be- north md south instead Of
east and west During the civil war, and
owing TO the closing Of the Mississippi,
this tendency was changed, and the trade
Of the valley, by artificial channels,
WINS turned from the west TO the east. An
improvement OF the Illinois river that
would make II the channel Of drainage Of

An Instance OF Pociic Justice.

j fum the JCWclcr weekly.
Did you ever hear OF poetic justice? Let
me give You AN instance. You've never
been on the road, ~ may be you will not
enjoy the story quite rs much ms another
drummer would; hut 10 give you n little
insight into the real essence Of my tale you
must know that the ordinary cruss roads
s~torekcoper has an indclible idea that he
Is q man Of great importance. Therefore,
when an ordinary travelling salesman
comes In, even though the house hc rep
rcscnis may be able TO buy out the store
keeper a dozen times and then make a
petty cash item Of the transaction, he re-
ceiycs him nj his due convenience with a
%paironizing and condcsccnding air that is
gall and NORWOOD 30 the drummer, but
which he hears m one Of the %concomitant
evils Of his calling. However, TO get TO the
story.
last week I was awaiting the conycn-
fence of one Of these '~'aristocrats" whose
store Il in q small inland town In this
state. While | was patiently putting in
my time on n convenient chair a gentle
man, carrying two grips similar 10 those
used by drummcrs, entered with n bust
ncss like air, and putting his baggage upon
the floor began 10 make a minute inspcc-
ton Of the contents Of the show cases.
The auiocnt was arranging his window
and now and then casting IN interested
glance into a drrssmaken's workroom op-
positc. lie paid no particular attention 10
the new arrival, surprising him, as he
aiterward tcanully remarked, 10 be "only
a drummer The stranger glanced nj him
several times, and was plainly growing inn
patient. Finally lac evidently decided that
ho had waited long enough, and with a
muticred exclamation that he couldn't buy
anything II he wasn't shown anything, no
seized his grips and vanished through tho
door before the astonishcd jcwelcr could
recover his shattered senses.
They were still morc widely scattered a
few days aftcrward when he learned that
his competitor, n few blocks away, had
sold the stranger a pair Of diamond ear
rings and n two-cant stud. Now when a
drummer comes into his store the autocmt's
.ohscquious manners almost make his yisi-
tors hair stand on end In astonishment.
